FALSE
A 1 in 40 slope means that for every 40 units of horizontal distance, there is a 1 unit rise. To convert this to degrees, you can use the arctangent function. The formula to convert slope to degrees is arctan(slope) = angle in degrees. Therefore, for a 1 in 40 slope, the angle in degrees would be approximately 1.43 degrees.

Of the land surface, you may refer to slope, or gradient. In geology, the dip angle is the name given to the angle down which a strata follows.
The slope is the rise/run.And then angle of incline = arctan(slope).
About how steep is the angle of the slope for "Extreme Skiers"?
Form a right angle triangle under the slope and divide the base of the triangle into the height of the triangle.
if the slope is 1 in 22, draw horizontal line 22 long, then vertical line 1 high, hypotonuse is slope, angle of slope is (INV tan ( 1 / 22)) . same deal for 1 in 66, 66 along then 1 up, angle is (INV tan ( 1 / 66))
supplementary angles
All this represents is the angle of a triangle, which is calculated using trigonometry. The slope is given in degrees of an angle.
Slope is the angle compared with the horizontal, where the horizontal is 90° to the vertical, which can be measured with a plumb line. So, put a weight on a string, measure the angle of the string to the angle you are measuring, subtract 90° and that will give you the slope.
No
No slope is the angle at which a surface goes up or down.
The acceleration of an object on an inclined plane is directly influenced by the angle of the slope. As the angle of the slope increases, the component of the gravitational force acting parallel to the surface of the incline also increases, leading to a greater acceleration of the object sliding down the slope.

two, one is the resultant weight on the slope and = cosine (slope angle) * mass two is the force on the object and acts parralel to the the slope and = sin (slope angle) * mass
